The Mule (Correio de Drogas)

The Mule is a American crime drama film created in 2018 and directed by Clint Eastwood, who also plays the lead role. Although this film seems a little unlikely, it is based on the real story of Leo Sharp. However, the film manages to be funny while we feel sorry for the protagonist. Having actors like Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper and Dianne Wiest, this is obviously a very engaging film with great performances.

The film explores the life of Earl Stones, a very funny guy in his 80s who's facing financial ruin as well as is estranged from his ex-wife Mary and daughter Iris for always putting work before family. Fortunately, he keeps in touch with his granddaughter and goes to his wedding. Desperate for money, he takes up an offer from the friend of one of Ginny's bridesmaids and becomes a "mule" transporting cocaine through Illinois for a Mexican drug cartel. Unfortunately, DEA agents catch up to him, but he continues to care of plants in prison, as he always did.

This film is very good and perfectly completes the wide range of films by Clint Eastwood. Furthermore, this film manages to hold our attention, because we want to see the plot unfold, despite we immediately understand where Earl is getting into.

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park is an adventure and science fiction film created in 1993 by director Steven Spielberg, based on the eponymous book written by Michael Crichton. The film centers on the fictional Isla Nublar, where a billionaire philanthropist as well as a small team of geneticists create a theme park on an island, where the main attractions are the varied species of dinosaurs recreated through genetic laboratories. In my opinion, it was one of the best films in the history of cinema, because it was an important milestone in cinema besides to revolutionizing graphic effects in cinema! Furthermore, this film manages to hold the viewer's attention from beginning to end, as the action scenes are tense. However, it has minor flaws, in the animation of dinosaurs for example, but this is due to the fact that it is an old film.

Direction: Steven Spielberg,Colin Trevorrow, Joe Johnston

Author: Michael Crichton

Stars: John Hammond, Dr. Alan Grant and Dra. Ellie Stattler

Drama, Mystery, Thriller

Dangerous Lies is a film about a couple who don't have as much money to spend on luxuries, but enough to survive.

The restaurant where Katie (protagonist) worked ended up being robbed, besides that she still didn't have a job.

She went to work for a house to take care of an old man, her boyfriend was already studying so he could not work, despite later having given up on studies because their financial situation was not the best.

He went to work for the house where Katie was working as a gardener.

But the old man died, and out of nowhere, a lawyer appeared with a will saying that you had left everything to Katie.

Later on they discovered diamonds, and a number of things that were worth a lot of money inside the house, and with that came several problems, murders, robberies and other things.

Katie's boyfriend passed away, but before he died hiding the diamonds, she didn't find out where they were. They ended up discovering that the lawyer was bad and got into the will, but even so she stayed with the house, alone (without her boyfriend) and pregnant.

Director: Michael M. Scott

Writer: David Golden

Truth or dead

He movie did not receive the bad amount of comments or opinions it got from other users. Quite frankly, they are wrong in calling Truth or Dare a bad movie, as it is not meant to be a masterpiece but a fun movie to watch.

If you are looking for a movie that you can switch off to and just watch a movie that is mindless entertainment then Truth or Dare is a movie i recommend it if you can look past of the cliche horror.

Overall the movie as some decent young actors in it and is a passable horror movie so i suggest giving Truth or Dare a chance.

My dream trip

Never ask me about the trip that I would like doing, because I want to visit so many places that I just don’t know which one to choose!

Despite this, I think that my favourite trip would be travel in Europe by motorhome and without any money. I think that everybody can make some money from anything by being persistent. First question answered. Next question!

For how long? I don’t know that either… I would like to go on this trip without a deadline, only thinking about the destination. I would like to start it in Portugal, for example, and end it in Romania, taking the necessary time. In this case, I would have all the time needed and I could relax.

With whom? I would like to go with anybody. My idea would be to make friends along the trip and somehow “take them” with me.

The places that I would visit… Good question! I think that this kind of trip wouldn’t be about visiting places and monuments. I think that this kind of trip would be about discovering new cultures, having adventures and trying new things. Also, I would be able to meet new people.

My Dream Trip to New York

There are many places that I would like to visit, but there is one in particular that catches my attention: New York.

New York is a place that has always fascinated me in the movies for its tall buildings and because it is a huge city. I would like to go there with family for 2 or 3 weeks, I wouldn't mind staying for a long time.
As soon as I got there, I would go straight to Times Square and Broadway, but I would also like to visit the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Empire State Building and the Bronze Bull of Manhattan. There I would also like to try typical food and get to know their culture, although they are not very different from ours. One of the things that also fascinates me is the immensity of colors that exist in Times Square, and Central Park for being a giant reference in films and series. These are all the reasons why I would like to go to New York.

My dream trip - Japan

My dream trip

My dream trip is going to Tokyo, in Japan. I have always wanted to go there because I love the Japanese culture. I would like to taste the traditional food of Japan and visit many places. Tokyo is full of culture and art, mixing modernity with tradition. The place I would like to visit first is Shibuya and I would take a lot of pictures there!
